Super, super excited for Mondocon this year. I’ll be on the corner- booth B34 with several rare works for the convention. Been working for a long time on several new hand embellished prints to release at the convention, along with some last minute gig poster drops from this week! A lot to get through here, so let’s just dive in!

With the success of the hand embellished Alien prints from SDCC, I got to work on a new batch of reworked b/w variant prints, in addition to some of the full color main timed edition. I also realized from SDCC that the prices were a bit…on the low side and have modified the pricing accordingly. $400 each for the hand embellished B/W Variant prints, and $450 each for the full color. There will be limits per person at the booth, as there’s been incredible demand.

In addition to the Alien hand embellished prints, I also reworked some of the Primus with Clutch gig posters, the one color variants. These were a ton of fun to do, and I’ll have about 12 available at the convention, for $200 each. I also grabbed a few of the remaining Prints on Wood “Blister” prints and added some embellishment along with a coat of varnish. I’ll have three of these at the show, for $150 each.

And finally, I’m excited to reveal my new glow-in-the-dark gig poster for Primus from last Halloween night. Took a new approach on this one, with very little actual straight up linework, and more subtle shadowy tones throughout. I’ll have EXTREMELY limited quantities of the show version as well as a few variants available (the bulk will release online at a later date). Strict limit of one (of each) per person. See pricing below.

I’m thrilled to announce my officially licensed “Alien” print now available through Mondo and 20th Century Fox. The good guys at Mondo reached out with a dream project for my first officially licensed movie poster. In the words of Mondo:

“H.R. Giger’s iconic design for the Xenomorph is just about perfect. It’s instantly identifiable, timeless and terrifying. N.C. Winters has paid wonderful tribute to Giger’s brilliant design in his poster for ALIEN. N.C.’s rendering and careful attention to detail across the Xeno design is stunning. This poster will be on sale as an extended timed edition release, available starting now and running through May 19th when ALIEN: COVENANT is released in theaters.”

The poster came together unbelievably well, and is one of the top pieces of work I’ve ever created. I had a strong intent to run with Giger’s original artistic design and tried to stay as true it as possible, and Mondo and Fox were both happy to support this vision. The main colorway is an open timed edition, and will end right at the release of ALIEN:COVENANT, but the variant edition is expected to sell out soon, so jump on it!(ALREADY SOLD OUT!)

Since the recent presidential election, I’ve struggled with finding the best way to express myself regarding the heightened sense of hostile rhetoric in our current political and social climate. I had originally planned a new print in response, based around some darker, angrier imagery. I was hoping to voice my frustration through art, something I don’t always do, as I try to keep political views out of my works for the general public. This was the time however, to make my voice heard.

Very quickly though, I realized the best way I could contribute to the conversation, and the best way to keep my head free from constant anger and resentment was to focus on compassion and inclusion. So I scrapped some of the original designs and instead focused on a new message of hope and compassion. The result is “Urgent Need” which combines imagery of rebirth in the allegory of the Phoenix, combined with unique imagery with an emphasis on compassion for the beauty of ALL life, however different from one’s own.

As part of this special release, I’m proud to be donating 20% of all profits of the sale directly to the ACLU. While I wish it could be a greater percentage, this is an experiment to see if this print and message will find resonance with buyers who are of like mind. If the sale does well, I plan on future prints with a similar theme where I can hopefully donate a much larger percentage to the ACLU and other important organizations. Together, hopefully we can all work together to make a difference through art.

Prints are 16″ x 20″ on Madero Beach 100lb speckletone paper, expertly printed by Daniel Askar at Static Medium Printing. Each print is hand signed and numbered and will never be reprinted. Prints are $40 each, and will ship in 2-4 weeks after the sale. The print will be available for purchase this coming Wednesday, February 15. As always, the exact drop time will be available to those who have subscribed to my email newsletter, (found in the sidebar of this site) in the next day or so.

I thank you so much for your support of my art and in this particular case, the ACLU. I’m proud to be able to donate money to their incredible work, and honored to have your support in this endeavor. Thank you!
